■  Prevention is better than cure
■  Identify and address the imbalances not suppress the symptoms
■  Support the body to heal itself
■  The part can never be well unless the whole is well
■  Educate the client

Diagnosed with autoimmune arthritis over 15 years ago and Lyme disease over 5 years ago, Shane has an inside understanding of chronic
and autoimmune disease and the challenges of restoring oneself to optimal wellness.

Shane was born in Canada, grew up in New Zealand and currently lives in Edmonds, Washington, with his partner and daughter.

Since becoming a Registered Nurse in 1987 Shane has worked in three different countries with three very different healthcare systems
(New Zealand, Canada and USA). His broad nursing experience over the past 30 years includes working in over fifteen different hospitals and
a multitude of healthcare specialties, including: orthopedics; kidney dialysis; mother/ baby; pediatrics; oncology; cardiology; rehab; plastics;
kidney, liver and bone marrow transplantation; ICU and ER; mental health; home health and hospice.

He was once a private nurse to screen legend Gene Kelly and approached to be a private nurse to former President Ronald Reagan.

He has served the needy in an earthquake shelter in Los Angeles after the Northridge quake and has helped setup a medical clinic in the
Peruvian Amazonian jungle... but probably one of his most curious nursing assignments was escorting a psychotic felony prisoner from the
Los Angeles County Jail back to Italy.
